What can we learn about “sibling deprivation” from China’s generation of Little Emperors?

Anne Boysen, , , ,

A whole generation of single children have come of age, revealing some interesting sociopsychological observations. Although China’s one-child policy implemented in 1979 has helped curb population growth, their aspiring leaders and innovators are showing some undesirable tendencies that are not as prominent among children with siblings. Only a quarter of Chinese families had single children in 1975 compared with 91 %…

Does Snapchat give kids a false sense of security?

Anne Boysen, , , , ,

In my post Online privacy and the cyberbaby-generation I addressed what I think is a distorted narrative when online sharing habits and privacy concerns are discussed.

Anne Boysen, , , , ,

A picture is worth a thousand words, but I don’t have near enough infographics on this blog! So here’s my very special Election Day Post that aspires to be the pop-cultural, right brained amateur version of Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight blog. Well not quite exactly, but we can pretend. Actually these are not my graphics at…

The inheritance the “Entitlement Generation” is not entitled to

Anne Boysen, , , , , , ,

“How do I love (bankrupt) thee? Let me count the ways.” This election year it’s hard not to take note of all the various ways in which the next generation is screwed. Younger cohorts will struggle with student loans, possibly endure continued high unemployment rates, foot most of the bill from the national deficit and…

The Girl Effect

Anne Boysen, , , ,

It is widely believed that the solution to many of the world’s ills goes through the empowerment of women and especially female children.
